Transfer and Readmit Students

We know our incoming students are busy, and getting ready to attend SDSU in the fall is high on the to-do list. That's why we've designed a one-day, one-stop-shop program to suit your needs.

Participation in one of our half-day sessions is required for all incoming students.

NSO Dates for Fall 2025 Admits will be announced in March 2025.
